DFI Crossfire Capable P45 mATX Board
- Thread starter HeX
- Start date
It works just fine on my X48 too - I'm not sure what happened to you?
Crashing, blue screening, instability. Totally random as well - sometimes it would go for days and other times it would barely load a game.
It was mainly with my 3870X2, but I also borrowed a pair of X1950 Pros from a friend, and I got the same result. I tried my card in his machine, and it was fine. I tried a single X1950 Pro, and the problems suddenly disappeared!
In the end the board just died, I came to turn it on one day and it wouldn't boot. So maybe the board was faulty. But it's certainly odd it showed all the symptoms other people were/are having with it, for the 6 weeks or so I used it.

I would agree with you, I've just ordered my parts for my 2nd rig :
AM2 4850e X2 Processor & a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H Motherboard, the internal graphics are mean't to be pretty darn good for the price & media playback.
Still the performance of my watercooled Asus p5e-vm HDMI with QX9650 will Whooooop ** ass 
(granted it would cost a fair bit more 
) and when I say fair I mean a hell of a lot, but the same results could be acheived with a E8500 for better comparison to your setup.

well ive been running the new sapphire 780g board with my 5000+ black edition @ 3.2ghz!, used to have a 775 setup with the fatal1ty f-190hd and an E4400, but was really buggy and had **** hd playback, running on air aswell! im looking to get a wolfdale soon hopefully this will be the start of many more decent matx 775 mobos to come!
